The No. 2 cornerback is Charles Lester III from Venice High School. On Friday, the 5-star prospect announced that he was staying in-state to play his college football at Florida State.
He told ESPN, “I’ve been there so many times and just being around the people, I got a great feeling for those people there. I trust them and it’s my childhood dream school. … Out of all the places I’ve been, I just get that feeling for that school every time. So just from the people, opportunity and the way they’re going with their program now, that helped me pick my decision.”
This will be Lester’s first year at Venice, ranked No. 39 in the HSFA 300. He transfers to the Indians after playing a crosstown rival Riverview.
